The Meeting of the National Council saw the Staff Side in full preparation for getting the demands of the workers achieved at the earliest. On all the demands, there was constructive discussion with the staff side raising all relevant points in support of their demands. The official side was also positive, including the Chairman.

The Staff Side team consisted of myself as Leader Staff Side, P.Abhimanyu, Secretary, Staff Side, P.Asokababu, R.Venkataraman, V.Subburaman, Suresh Kumar, J.Sampat Rao, P.Andiappan, B.S.Raghuvansi, A.R. Safi, R.Raveendran, B.R.Jakhatia and Vijendra Singh. Com.R.K.Kohli could not attend due to a fracture. Since the staff side met yesterday and discussed all the issues internally, there was full co-ordination in presenting the issues with full records and documents.

My hearty congratulations to the staff side team. Everybody gave their best in presenting the cases.
